Gonzalo Plata is out for Flamengo’s first match in the Recopa Sudamericana against Lanús (ARG). Even though the Ecuadorian forward will miss Thursday’s (19th) clash, he did not get a day off this Wednesday (18th).

According to reports from Coluna do Fla, Plata followed the schedule set by the club and trained as usual this Wednesday (18th). On Thursday (19th), the forward is also expected to do exercises at Ninho do Urubu. Besides the Ecuadorian, the players who did not travel to Argentina were also present at Flamengo’s training center.

WHAT HAPPENED TO PLATA BEFORE FLAMENGO’S MATCH?

Plata is out of the first leg of the Recopa because he is serving the last game of his suspension due to the red card he received in the semifinal against Racing (ARG), during the Libertadores semifinal. After this Thursday’s (19th) match, the forward will be available for Flamengo again in the return leg against Racing, on February 26th, at Maracanã.
